      As sad as it is, I couldn't help but laugh when he says to the woman: "You knocked me off my feet." Like damn, that right there tells you he still has it; that iconic comedic charm. It's just that his body simply isn't on the same wavelength as his mind. But the fact he can crack a joke like that in the middle of what looks to be a major spill, shows how tough he is. Kudos to him.

    I never thought of Michael J. Fox being small. He has always been a huge presence. I’m inspired by Michael’s story, as I also struggle with chronic illness and disability. I’m in the recovery field, and think it’s awesome that he’s talking about using alcohol to cover up his symptoms. A LOT of people self-medicate pain and illness with unhealthy substances, to try to continue to work and function. This should not be stigmatized or seen as an excuse, but a sign that they need more medical help…a diagnosis or safe and appropriate management of their symptoms.

    If he can do this for others, the least I can do is watch with the intent to understand. Not pity or any of that other patronizing crap. Just watch to understand and allow his reality to become part of my understanding of the world around me. It’s time to stop looking away because something is hard to watch without feeling something. Feel sad but then feel encouraged and empowered that there may be something you can do. This man has purpose.

    I watched my mother being taken down by PD, like a predator that takes down it's kill then decides to toy with it, torturing it for awhile before finally finishing it off. This was years ago & she didn't have the kind of income that he's been blessed with that allows him access to treatments, some of which may not have existed for her. I hate to see his dyskinesia has progressed this far. Those falls are scary. My mother died from a fall in the care facility where she was, hitting her head. He is blessed to have so many around loving and taking care of him. Many hugs & prayers for him, and especially for Tracy, as his primary caregiver, for renewed strength and courage each day.

    As a kid from the 80s that loved MJF this... Made me tear up. I knew, obviously, that he had Parkinson but seeing how far it's progressed with the falling down and everything just hit me. I remember seeing Alex P. Keaton every week! Absolutely LOVING(still love them movies) Back to the Future and him as Marty McFly was just perfect! Him as Brantley Foster, Scott Howard, Ben Stone etc. Now to see him it's just... Idk I'm sure he would not want me to feel sorry for him but in a way I do! Just sucks getting older and all your childhood heros getting older with you. Arnold isn't Arnold anymore not that he's in bad shape just not ARNOLD, Stallone...

Fox & Christopher Lloyd a real back to the future experimental superconductive hoverboard! This type of hoverboard is composed of a clever configuration that allows it to hover anywhere, without the need to be on a special track or base. And definitely this could be considered a technological breakthrough! And I think Michael deserves to see this more than anyone else! Because it’s all thanks to him that I am the person who I am today! You would always be my hero!💫
